This past Sunday night through Wednesday afternoon was pretty interesting. While driving up late on Sunday the rain began around Springfield, MA, at that point I had opportunity to return home but I figure MRG always finds a way to pull it together some how. With in the next 5 miles it was pouring and did not stop until Middlesex when I exited 89. Buy the time I reach WPSC there was a drizzle but the temps were in the mid 30's, still a chance to skiing glimmered in my dreams that night. Monday morning the O'donnnell's were out to ski but returned around noon because the mountain was flooded as the temp's rose to 51. The base lodge received at least 2 feet of water and the mountain was shut down. Monday evening Joe,Amy and 5 year old Mathew(Litzky guests) joined us at the house and were a pleasure to hangout with while I was there. Tuesday was looking pretty grim, but as usual MRG worked all night groomed out about 10 trails fixed the basement and dropped the ticket price to 35.00. We had a great group ski with the O'Donnell's, Dave Litzky, Joe and Dakota, reaching some pretty top speeds on the very fast terrain. Tuesday afternoon brought us Lazarus', Prudden and his guests Brad, Shane, and Dillion. Tuesday night there was a group cook and we all survived :). Wednesday the temps were down to 10 and more trails were groomed. Very very fast were those trails, in fact if anyone find a left shoulder around the bottom of the Quacky, it's mine. When I left it was snowing fingers crossed they got 4 overnight.
all for now.

A blog! oh, we are so 20th (21st?) century! love it and will check it often - also, our "logo" looks like a patch, is that from days gone by? I want one! maybe we can make them again - or is that off the hats? I have one of those. Pam
Deb-lunar eclipse from a bar parking lot...hmm. Sounds like a great time.
Pam that jpg is from the back of the black hat that Sue made. I am working on a few different plans for gear.
